Jobs data week, GOLD corrects with steady trend

٣٠ سبتمبر

XAUUSD rebounded slightly this past weekend on Friday (September 27) as traders received the latest US data, but gold also hit a new all-time record this past week due to Expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates further.
Although the latest US consumer spending and inflation data reinforced expectations that the US central bank will cut interest rates further in the coming months, it also failed to provide clarity on the question. How deep will the Fed cut?

The US core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index showed inflation rose just 0.1% in August, below market expectations. This data increases market confidence that the Federal Reserve will continue to implement easy monetary policy.
However, the data gap compared to the same period is not really large, this makes the market begin to divide into two directions; How much will the Fed cut interest rates in the upcoming FOMC period, 50bps or 25bps.

As a non-interest-bearing asset, gold becomes more attractive in an interest rate cutting or low interest rate environment, which has pushed gold prices up about 14% this quarter, the best quarter since 2016.

The latest consumer spending and inflation data from the US were the main economic indicators influencing the gold market last week. Inflationary pressures have eased, signs of growth in consumer spending suggest the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates further for the rest of the year.

Currently, the market is expecting the Fed to cut another 75 basis points over the remainder of the year. This expectation has become the main driving force to help gold prices continue to increase this week, and looking into the future, this is still important support for gold's fundamental uptrend in the near future.

At the same time, global geopolitical tensions have added to market uncertainty. Uncertainties about the Middle East situation and the US presidential election have increased market demand for safe havens, further supporting gold prices.

This week will be a trading week with a lot of important macro data from the United States, the focus will be on non-farm employment data (NFP). It is expected that gold will have another turbulent trading week. market government.

Economic data to watch out for this week
Monday: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks at the NABE meeting
Tuesday: European CPI, ISM Manufacturing PMI, JOLTS Employment
Wednesday: ADP jobs report
Thursday: Weekly unemployment claims, ISM services PMI
Friday: Nonfarm payroll report

During the US session, Fed Chairman Powell is expected to give a speech on the economic outlook at the 66th annual meeting of the National Association for Business Economics. Most likely, he will not give any new information compared to the previous press conference because he has not yet announced a new CPI or NFP report. So this speech may be notable but probably won't make a big impact.
